PART 1 - Preparing Beef Rendang

[adiero]

Thanks very muchly for this. I've done the indoneasian version with the sweet soy, but never this. Question: I noticed you used a blender for the onions, garlic etc. but pounded the coconut. Why one way vs the other? Also, what kind of blender was that? Thanks again for an awesome video. Your Mom is wonderfull

[millymiey]

this is the best!

Dig this recipe! I have a slightly different version from Indonesia. Is dried galangal ok?, or, will only fresh will do?

[Jeansieguy]

@Jeansieguy ... I can get either.

[Shamsulrosunally]

@Jeansieguy .

Thanks for your feedback Jeansieguy. Dried galangal is fine I would imagine. My mother's end product is a little "wet" . As long as your version ends up dry then the flavours will come out.

hmm this is something really interesting! your mom used only 3 stalks of lemongrass but when i make Kelantanese Rendang we use up to 12 stalks. both version are very nice btw, and thanks for promoting our Malaysian food. i think the Europeans would love it very much.

[Berrymore84]

i take it this is a Rendang Tok because it uses a lot of spices. wow you have a good British accent.

we have the laptop with this video in the kitchen, and we're trying to copy this... bummer we don't have all of the ingredients here.

@ivonnetg

It's not an easy dish to cook. You can get a close approximation if you're down on a few ingredients but you really need lemon grass and coconut. Good luck! Tell me how it pans out - Shamsul

Do u live in the UK  or sumthin?

[Shamsulrosunally]

@esparinza

I live in Surrey in the UK. Far from South East Asia but I have the food to remind me.

[esparinza]

@Shamsulrosunally yeah. I'm studying in the US right now. And whenever you feel like eating sumthin, u just have to cook it urself, unfortunately.

I was cooking rendang the other day for the locals. And this was helpful. 

say hi to ur mum aite!

[chrisjapan]

[Shamsulrosunally]

@chrisjapan

What kind of curry powder? There are so many. Generic Malaysian?

[Shamsulrosunally]

@madisonelectronic

Generic Malaysian, Indian, in fact any generic is required. Nothing too disctinct as the other ingredients will give it the unique quality - Shamsul

[Berrymore84]

@madisonelectronic "Meat curry powder" is a more suitable one especially when cooking Rendang (spiced coconut beef). the most simple yet critical part of the whole process is the sauteing, not too soon and not too long on the fire otherwise you won't get the fullest taste out of it. have you tried this recipe btw?

[RinaJohnson]
